On the 9th, at Springfield, the large Chi

hundreds headed bp Capt. Black, a tt orney

read the petition OF Spies Shwab and Field
en-. The petition recites the history Of the
alleged offense for which the petitioners
had been condemned. It affirmed that
neither OF them either threw the fatal bomb
or advised the throwing: that they had NOT
knowledge OF the fact that it was to he
thrown; that they had always counseled
and encouraged peace. Considerabl space
was devoted to an attempt to show that
they had not fair trial and indeed that
such a trial was impossible in Chicago In
view OF the Influence and the state of pub
llc sentiment at the time it took place.
Capt. Black represented an affidavit from

the wives and relations OF the
condemned men were received by

evening, and no one was present with them
except George Schilling The scene was
one which the governor will never forget.
Mrs. Schwab pleaded for the life OF
her husband. She was calm at first
but approached almost to hysteria
before the interview was over Miss
Engei tried to say a word for her obdurate
father, but broke down, and could not
give utterance to her feelings and Mrs.
Spies begged for mercy in words, but her.
pretty daughter had pro badly the most eli.

pleaded for her husband also. At
the close of the interview Miss
Engel signed a petition on behalf OF her
father. Elsie Trundell, his sweetheart, sign
ed for Lingg, and sealed the document
with her tears, which fell fast and hot up-
on tho paper as she wrote her name Mrs.
Fischer signed the prayer on behalf of her
husband, and Capt. Black signed for Par
sons, SO that now petitions are in before
the governor in the name Of all the con-
demned. notwithstanding but three o.
them signed by their own hands.

DECORATION DAY.

Decoration Day, of all other days in
the year, is the one in which sadness
reigns supreme. On that day friends
and relatives assemble around the
grass covered graves of those who once
held a place in their affections and
scatter flowers of sweetest fragrance and
most beauteous hue thereon. The sa-
credness of the day exerts q peculiar in
fuence over the lives of the living.
Standing at the tomb Of our dead what
thoughts fit through our minds! It
recalls happy hours spent long before
death stepped in and severed the golden
cord that bound the living and the now
dead together. 1t is also serves as a re-
hinder that life is an uncertain thing
under any conditions or circumstances,
but if our life is as spotless and pure as
the flowers we scatter upon the graves of
our fallen heroes and dearest dead, we
need not not fear the inevitable hour
when our spirits must go forth to meet
our God.

EUROPEAN EMIGRATION

Last week 1881 emlgrants left
Queenstown for America, 400 more
than the week previous. Thus thou
sands of Europeans, driven out of their
own county BY monarchical tyranny
find their way to our shores. The i'm
migrants landed at Castle Garden thus
far this year number 1873, 900, or 10000
in excess of the same period last year.
AS rule they are intelligent and of a
better class than usual. The Italians
and Hungarians are the least to be de-
sired. We get only the lowest elements
of these two nationalities, men who
grove! for small paw, hoard their savings
and then return to their old homes to
live off their accumulations. The Irish
men now coming oyer pretty generally
have friends who have sent for them.
Much money is thus kept from the
pockets of the landlords. immigration
on this plan may yet be factor in the
settlement of the Irish question. Mean
while what is to be thought of the re-
sources of a country which can provide
for thousands of new corners every
week There is room for everybody
except the Chinese.

WHY NOT OOEROE OANADA7

It would be well if the Tory Govern
ment which manifests such an ardent
desire to s'put down crime'' in Ireland,
would turn their attention TO Canada.
We believe comparison of the statis-
tics of crime in the two above-named
countries would result favorably for
Ireland. The most prolific source of
crime in Ireland is the intolerance of
Belfast Orangemen land in Canada men,
beers of the same degraded order swell
the criminal statistics in Canada. But
while Belfast is the only city in Ireland
in which these bigots are permitted to
carry on their notorious trade in in
tolerance, Canada has at least three
cities in which it is winked alto
ronto, Hamilton and Kingston. There
fore, it is reasonable to suppose that
Canada would lead Ireland in the mat.
ter of crime.
In view of the fact that Canada's
criminal statistics, in proportion to the
population, show greater amount of
crime in that country than in Ireland.
it would not seem an unreasonable
question to ask why the. Imperial Gov
eminent does not subject the former
country to the same debasing restric-
lions which they intend to impose upon
IRELAND?

THIS is how Labouchere speaks OF
Chamberlain in a recent number OF
Truth: Mr.. Chamberlain is now,
rejoice to know, at home, where he can
receive all the attention which his case
requires. The unfortunate gentleman
is much shaken in nerve and body. He
spends most of his time in reading fic-
ton, which, as involving no great strain
on the intellectual faculties, is permit
ted by his medical attendant. His
favorite romance is 'Parnellism and
Crime He thinks the proprietor of
Times, whom he calls Walker (this
confusion of names is very common
symptom in these cases) is the greatest
of living men, and hopes soon to see
him made Peer by the title of Lord
Mendax. He spends most of his time
in the conservatory trying to produce a
cross between tho primrose and the or
child, If he succeeds, he proposes that
he and Jesse Ceilings should wear the
hybrid in their buttonholes. He sleeps
well, but always has the same dream
that he is Prime Minister.

WE are pleased to note that the re-
preventative of the Irish wooden mills,
Mr.. Peter White, has received
one of the largest orders for wooden
goods ever sent to the mills of Ireland.
The order is from a Shuman & Co., of
Boston. Other greatmerchants of that
city have also given large orders. AS
the Boston Pilot says. Mr.. White can
easily secure American orders that
would exceed the power of ireland to
supply. He represents nearly all the
mills in Ireland, in consolidated COM
pany OF which Michael Davitt and E..
Dryer Gray, of the Freeman's Journal,
are members. He is fortunate repre-
sentative for Ireland, perfect business
man and man of character and singu-
lar amiabillty. He will break the ice
for every Irish industry. We con-
graduate him and the country he re-
presents on his splendid success at the
very start in America.

TROUBLE has again come upon the
house of Argyle. Lord Colin Campbell
has been declared bankrupt. When a
man of his station in society loses caste
and becomes bankrupt in character he
might as well be bankrupt in pocket.
The best thing that Lord Colin can do
now is to migrate to New Zealand or
Natal and begin life over again. under
the easy alias of his family name, shorn
of Colin and the title. The dime mu-
scum also offers a good opening for
men of the stamp of Lord Colin.

FROM the Montreal True Witness we
learn that Ottawa Nationalist are
moving to get up a relief fund for the
Luggacurran evicted tenants whom
Lord Lansdowne has reduced to a de-
plorable condition of want and destitu-
ton. The Canadian GOVERNOR General
is getting to be rather an expensive
ornament. With Canadian public
money he reduces 500 persons to beg
gary, and now Canadians are called
upon to subscribe in charity to save his
victims from determination. Would
not the dismissal of Lorn Lansdowne
be more logical? However, we trust
the people of Ottawa will consult their
charitable instincts and show their
sympathy of the evicted and detestation
of the evictor by sending good round
sum to the poor people of Luggacurran.

Irish tenants was as bad as repre-
scented, but what must they think now,
when Lord Lansdowne can find no bet
ter answer to MIR. O'Brien's charges
than clubs and stones in the hands of a
wild, untamed Orange mob? Thus it
will be seen that Ireland has made
many warm friends through the man
ner in which the Orange mob treated
William O'Brien while in Canada.
But the conduct of the champions of
mob law has assumed an aspect that
they little dreamed of. From all &C
counts it has set the Canadian people to
thinking seriously whether or not there
is any advantage in supporting an i'm
ported Governor-G General who spends
their money in harrassing his Irish ten
ants. Therefore, the mission of Will.
liam O'Brien has become more than a
question between Lord Lansdowne and
his tenants. 1t has broadened into an
attack on American institutions, and
gives an emphasis to the Monroe doc
trine which it never had before. This
continent can never become what it
ought to be till the shadow of Euro.

ernor-G General, ceases to cast its baleful

ment, that had been gathering it's forces
for years, has received a tremendous
impetus from the tour of Mr.. O'Brien.
It has aroused the attention of states
men and the great forces of law and or
der to the fact that here on the Ameri-
can continent a power opposed to free
dom is being consolidated under the
wing of Imperialism. The question
now is-Shall it be permitted?

If there is any one thing more dis
gushing than another in connection
with the so-called variety stage of
America it is the attempt of certain
so-called actors to portray Irish char
acter. The makeup of these indi-
vidDals in no way resembles an Irish
man. They generally tie pair of false
whiskers under their chin, drink
whiskey out of black bottle, wipe
their noses on their fingers, and their
fingers on their pantaloons. This class
of variety actors should not be permit
ted to traduce Irish character.

CHICAGO, the youngest archdiocese

spects, ahead of all it's seniors, with
the single exception of New York. 1t
exceeds New York in the number of
churches, having 2O3 to the latter's 1872 /;
but it has fewer priests. Boston ex-
ceeds Chicago in point of Catholic pop
ulation, having over SOC, 900 to Chicago's

SINCE the Queen csme to the throne
4,186,000 Irishmen have emigrated,
1895, 900 persons have been eyicted {;
and the most awful fact of all, ,225,OOO
persons have actually died of famine !!
Practically, for ireland, the event of
the Queens jubilee will be celebrated
by the coercion act, should that mea-
sure pass the House of Commons, as
seems not unlikely to be the case,
through the union of renegade Liberals
with their habitual foes. With facts
like these on which to fall back, COM

In an interview with gentleman
who is in position to speak authorize
lively on the subject the following facts
concerning an eviction on Lord Lans-
downe's estates were elected t'Cruel-
ties prevail on the Lansd0wne estates
in Queen and Kerry counties to an ex-
tent hardly equalled elsewhere in Ire
land. 1 knew the case OF tottering
old woman named Bridget Kelly, aged
Sc years, who was evicted. In the
house with the poor woman were her
son. his wife and six pale looking chill
dren. The sub-sherif entered the
thatched cabin and was told by the
aged mother that her sons wife lay
very Ill in a small bedroom off the
kitchen, The sub sheriff went into the
bedroom and asked if she had doc.
tors certificate. On receiving mega
tive reply he said: We'll. can't help
it: you must go OUT and after a pause
he added: Get your things on; you
know you can't wait here" The poor
woman seemed oblivious to all that was
passing, and her moaning was piteous
to hear. The old woman stepped to the
bedside and said to her daughter-in-
law: sMavourneen, don't fret. Cheer
up. God will provide for u.s. At this
time the sheriff interposed with, See
you get out of here!' AS the aged
mother was clinging to her sickly
daughter he added in brusque man
ner, Get her out in a hurry, too.
Meanwhile the little children were cry
ing bitterly outside in the storm, as
they viewed the mother taken harshly
from a death-bed and the infirm grand
mother praying for mercy on her
knees

IT seems that the Tory Ministry have
decided to postpone, for the present, the
demand for utgency in the passing of
the Coercion or Irish Crimes Bill. Con-
sidering the Irish t'crimes," even in
cases of extreme political ferment, do
not equal the sum total in that depart
ment of the city of London, nor, pro-
portionally to population, the criminal
rate of England, and that crimes at the
present moment are like angel visits in
Ireland, there is every reason to believe
that Salisbury and Co. have been think

tined to renew her youth. Davitt
surely was pleased on hearing addresses
of welcome in the old idiom of the
Irish Scots. It was like an extra as
surance that he was among friends and
almost among kindred. If it comes to
that, there is comparatively little differ
ence between the descent of the High
landers and that of a majority of Irish
men, and the Gaelic that is spoken at
Inverness or Kintail is nearer to that
spoken on the coast of Galway than is
the English of Yorkshire to that of
Boston.

FROM all accounts it IS quite evident

agitator will shortly be called to his
eternal repose. Should such prove to
be the will of Providence may it please
the Father of all to give Parnell home

THE END.

At last the London Times has con-
cluded its series of scurrilous articles
entitled Parnellism and Crime" It
has been our privilege to be permitted
to peruse many Of these articles, and
from what we have read of them we
can only arrive at one conclusion, and
that is, the Times has not produced
any evidence which would convince
any person that Mr.. Parnell has in any
way or time been connected with
the serious charges preferred against
him. AS we have said on former occa-
sions, it altogether depends on the
color of the glasses through which the
reader gazes whether many of the
charges would be considered crimes,
but the attempt to connect Parnell with
universally admitted crimes has been a
failure:
The object the Times had in view in
publishing this series of articles was
not worthy one. 1t hoped to
strengthen the Tory policy of coercion,
but so far from gaining its point, it has
alienated many of the men who have
stood by the party for years. What hor-
rible straits Salisbury and his party
have been reduced to when they can
stoop so low as to substitute paper to
traduce the character of men who diff
fer with them. At no time in the
history of the constitutional struggle
for Irish political freedom has SO
many people championed it, and all the
Times with it's lies can now do is not
very much. The day for that kind of
argument has long since passed away.

MR.. o'BR1BN's VISIT.

his labors and will leave in few days for
Ireland, it is proper to look calmly and
deliberately over the field and see what
he has secured that will practically
benefit the Irish cause. To do this we
must go back and review the obstacles
that gentleman had to contend with
during his trip through Canada. In
the first place the objection was raised
by his Orange opponents that Lord
Lansdowne being the representative of
the Queen the editor of United Ireland
was guilty of seditious utterances in
attacking him. This was easily refuted
by the friends of MIR. O'Brien. 1t was
shown that the men who raised this OBJ
lection were of the same class who
once upon time pelted Lord Elgin
(the then Governor General,) with rot
ten eggs and chased his wife around the
mountain at Montreal. 1t was also
shown that they were of the same breed
who refused the Prince of Wales a
landing at Montreal, and later on desc
Grated the Sabbath with their tiendish
yells while His Royal Highness joined
ill prayer at St. James cathedral IN
Toronto. Thus was this fallacions OBJ
lection against Mr.. O'Brien's visit ut
terly disposed of. If it was seditioD
for Mr.. O'Brien to tell plain, unvar-
nished tale of the sufferings of the Mar
quis of Transformers tenants, was itnot
very much worse for the Orangemen to
mob the heir-apparent to the throne Of
England, and assault the Queens
representative in the person Of Lord
Elgin /?
But we do not propose to constitute
ourselves into judge and jury and de-
eide whether MI. o 'Brien, or the Orange
men for that matter, was guilty of Sc
ditious utterances within the meaning
of the act. All we wish to show is that
the dauntless editor of United Ireland
accomplished what he set out to do
expose Lord Lansdowne's hypocrisy
and the brutal manner in which his
Luggacurran tenants have been
treated. In the first place Mr.. O'Brien
while in Ireland made certain charges
against the Canadian Governor General,
but fearing that he would be accused Of
attempting to take an unfair advantage
of his lordship while he was on this side
OF the water and unable to defend him
self, the former came to Canada to
beard the lion in his den. Ample OPP
portunity was afforded Lord Lans-
downe to deny any or all OF the charges.
But how did he reply? With clubs and
stones in the hands of a mob. We con.
fess that such an answer was the only
one that could be expected under the
circumstances. 1t, however, lacked the
elements which should constitute con.
vincing proof that Lord Lansdowne
was not guilty of the charges preferred
against him. The ''truly loyal' city OF
Belfast would has given similar an
swer on like occasions, but it only con-
WINGED the honest Preshy terians Of An
trim that an argument which had to be
sustained by lawlessness was q very
weak one. Lord Lansdowne's answer
will result practically the same in the
United States and Canada. We appre-
ciate the fact that there were still few
in this country who questioned Ireland
B right to govern herself, and doubted
very much whether the condition Of the
